Abstract

A locker {100) for securing one or more tensioning members (12) includes a locker body (102) having a first aperture (112), a second aperture (114), and a passageway (110) extending therebetween. A pin (106) is coupled to the locker body (102) so as to traverse the passageway (110) and is movable between a latent condition wherein the tensioning members (12) are movable with respect to the locker body (102), and an activated condition wherein the tensioning members (12) are prevented from moving relative to the locker body (102). A method of using a suture locker (100) includes delivering the suture locker (100) to a surgical site via a catheter assembly (159) and actuating the pin (106) so as to move the locker (100) from the latent condition to the activated condition.
